Nugget & The Waterfalls

On: By:
Waterfalls are some of the most spectacular tourist attractions which should be included on everyone's bucket list. Putting together this list felt near impossible as each waterfall has its own unique features and there's so many around the world, but here are some of the top waterfalls around the world. 
PLITVICE LAKES NATIONAL PARK, CROTIA
Plitvice Lakes National Park is Crotia's most popular tourist attraction and I completely understand why. Unlike the other waterfalls featured, Plitvice is made up of sixteen inter-connected crystalline lakes where terrains cascades into each other via beautiful waterfalls. The emerald and turquoise  have been compared to lakes in JuiZhaiGou Valley from Nuggets & The Lakes. What I love about this destination is that the falls are not only popular during the summer, but during the winter as the lush green forests transforms into the most beautiful winter wonderland.

HAVASU FALLS, ARIZONA
Havasu falls is the most spectacular waterfall in the Grand Canyon. The surrounding red rocks and mountains makes the flow of the bright turquoise water so much more beautiful. The waters plunges over 100 feet into the pool and spills into numerous secondary pools and small dams. This amazing tourist destination is only accessible via hiking in the blistering Arizonian sun, but I've read that these falls make the trip worth it and I really hope that's true.

VICTORIA FALLS, ZAMBIA
Found between Zambia and Zimbabwe,Victoria Falls is one of the seven natural wonders of the world creating a view too majestic for words. The combination of its width of 1708m and height of 108m classifies it as the largest sheet of falling water in the world. One of its most amazing feature is the Devil's Pool. During the dry season, the river dries significantly and visitors walk along the edge of the falls to bathe in the ultimate infinity pool. I don't know if my heart will allow me to enjoy a bath on a cliff of death. Take a look at the video below for a 360 degree experience of Victoria Falls.

BIGAR WATERFALL, ROMANIA
Now I don't know why, but this waterfall looks like it's a home to tiny fairies like Tinkerbell, or maybe I just watch to much tv or have an overactive imagination. It just seems a bit magical the way the water flows from a green mossy carpet forming a water veil as countless tiny streams run alongside the body. Bigar waterfall is situated in the territory of Bozovici, Romania. The fat, rounded, apex shape has made it one of the world's most unusually shaped waterfall and is Romania's most popular waterfall.

PONGOUR FALLS, VIETNAM
Pongour Falls is one of the most popular falls in the province and a popular tourist spot. This stunning terraced waterfall is about 40 meters high and 100 meters wide. Water cascades the natural staircases which allows visitors to walk through the falls but if I try to walk...I will fall. The beautiful and poetic scenery has made it a preferred location of locals for romantic meeting and picnics.

These falls are all too uniquely beautiful to pick my favourite. I love the appearance of Plitvice, the contrast of colours of Havasu is so beautiful, Victoria is beyond majestic, Bigor is magical and Pongour...will tempt me to walk on it and I will fall...But I love them all. Comment below and share some waterfalls around the world which has made it to your bucket list!

Nugget & The Seawater Swimming Pools

By: On:
What's your biggest fear about bathing at the beach? Mine is being swept away by the waves...actually no, that's not true, #1 fear is definitely being bitten or eaten by a shark; I've seen Jaws. But being swept away is definitely fear #2 which is why I love these pools. Seawater swimming pools are rock pools formed by the forces of nature or even man made and are usually located near coastlines . GIOLA LAGOON, THASSOS This beautiful swimming pool was carved into the rocks of Thassos by nature to form the most exquisite seaside swimming pool. The turquoise pool is found near Astris on the island of  Thassos , Greece and is separated from the Aegean Sea by a strip of rock. Diving from the terraced shaped rocks is the only method to access the pool. Thee pool measures approximately 20 meters wide and the rocks are 8 meters from the water surface. According to legend, Giola was the eye of Zeus which he used to watch over. Photo credit: htt...

Nugget & The Natural Pools

By: On:
There are so many amazing natural pools around the world, but these are just a few that caught my attention thus far.  Fairy Pools, Skye Fairy Pools is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Scotland and I can definitely see why. The blue pools are  crystal clear  and so beautiful.  As previously mentioned in  Nugget & The Mountains , I'm not built for hiking. Thankfully for me, to get to the beautiful pools through the River Brittle takes an average  40 - 50 minutes walk  which I can make. I'll just need some company; good company of course, not boring ones to make the trail feel like 5 hours.  The Pools is the most photographed place in Scotland and considered its most magical destination. The  pristine  and unbelievably blue waters makes every thing  visible . Now, the thing with the pools, they are  deceptively inviting.  The may have the colour and appeal of a tropical oasis, but the ...

Nugget & The Flower Fields

By: On:
A post for the plant lovers, the landscape lovers, those who just love to appreciate the beauty of nature and most importantly, for the tea lovers. Here are some of the most unbelievably flower fields around the world. LAVENDER FIELDS, UK The British countryside is home to some of the most beautiful lavender fields , just look at those shades of lavender in the pictures below. These fields are maybe the most photogenic ones I've even seen and I'm ever in the UK, I'm definitely visiting and there's lots to choose from. The Lavender farm are usually in full bloom from June to August and my favourite thing bout them is, tourists like myself, are free to walk through and tour the facilities. There's even a nice gift shop that I need to go to because who doesn't love the scent of lavender?

Nugget & The Tree Tunnels

By: On:
Is there anything more magical than walking through a perfect canopy of the most beautiful flowers? It doesn't matter if they were formed through the grace of nature or sculpted by the hands of inspired gardeners . They are nothing short of being both beautiful and enchanting. GYENOGHWA STATION, JINHAE For me, Japan is synonymous with sakuras , commonly known as cherry blossoms and to experience a tunnels of them would be amazing. The  Gyeonghwa Station in South Korea is one of the top spots to take photos of this pale pink ocean in Jinhae.  Photo credit:https://www.pinterest.com/pin/306104105897175941/ WISTERIA FLOWER TUNNEL, KITAKYUSHU The Wisteria Flower Tunnel in the Kawachi Fuji Garden seems to be a scene taken from a fairytale. This enchanting canopy is home to over 150 Wisteria flowering plants. Walking under these multi-coloured tunnel will truly be a magical experience.
